The VEX IQ Competition, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, provides elementary and middle school students with exciting, open-ended robotics challenges that enhance their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills through hands-on, student-centered learning. Teams of 2-6 (usually) will build robots to score as many points as possible in 1 minute by completing certain tasks. There are certain rules and requirements about your robot which makes it more challenging. Teams will do skills matches where they drive their robot by themself, programming skills where the robot runs on code for 1 minute, and teamwork challenge matches where they work together with another team.
Touch to advance To put it simply, this years game is robot shuffleboard. But besides from shooting disks/pucks you have to get them out of dispensers first. There are 3 different dispensers. Spinning, lifting and pushing dispenser. At the end of the match, teams can build expandable arms that touch the contact zones on the side of the field to get bonus points.
